Delany is one of the most acclaimed writers of speculative fiction. <br></p><p><strong>Babel-17</strong><em>,</em> winner of the Nebula Award for best novel of the year, is a fascinating tale of a famous poet bent on deciphering a secret language that is the key to the enemy?s deadly force, a task that requires she travel with a splendidly improbable crew to the site of the next attack. For the first time, <strong>Babel-17</strong> is published as the author intended with the short novel <strong>Empire Star</strong>, the tale of Comet Jo, a simple-minded teen thrust into a complex galaxy when he?s entrusted to carry a vital message to a distant world. Spellbinding and smart, both novels are testimony to Delany?s vast and singular talent. </p></div> Millennium Paperbacks 1857988051 9781857988055 eng SciFi-Masterwork
